“It
is hard to believe, but only 60 years
after the Holocaust the Jewish people is
once again in danger of being destroyed
- at least in its own state, where 40
percent of the world's Jews are
concentrated. Evidence of the severity
of the danger can be found not only in
the explicit threats by Iran's
president, which are backed up by an
arms program that would provide the
means to carry them out. It can also be
found in recent articles in the European
press that discuss the possibility of
Israel's 'disappearance' as a reasonable
'working assumption.' Additional
evidence regarding the threat level
exists in the fact that not only is
Israel the only country in the world
that is threatened with destruction, it
is also the only state whose right to
exist is the focus of international
polls, with many respondents answering
negatively. That is an honor that even
Iran, North Korea and apartheid-era
South Africa were never granted.” (Yair
Sheleg. Haaretz

09/18/06 "Information
Clearing House" -- -- While many may
find it heartening or amusing that even an Israeli
right winger cannot see a ray of light at the end of
the Zionist tunnel, it is rather disconcerting to
read that Israelis are already seriously
contemplating their next Shoah. I would argue here
that it is exactly this form of deadly meditation
that turns Israel, Israelis, global Zionists and
Neocons into the gravest enemies of world peace.

Indeed, a growing number of people want to see an
end to Israel, the ‘Jew Only State’. Yet, no one
around expresses any murderous or terminal plans
against world Jewry or even against their Jewish
State. No one in the political or the media spheres
is calling for a homicidal act against the Jews or
their Jewish State. Thus the well-established
Judeocentric tendency to interpret almost any
legitimate political and ideological criticism as a
perpetration of an upcoming Judeocide should be
comprehended as a severe form of paranoia verging on
collective psychosis, which I define as
Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder (Pre-TSD).

Within the condition of the Pre-Traumatic Stress
Disorder, the stress is the outcome of a phantasmic
event, an imaginary episode set in the future; an
event that has never taken place. Unlike the PTSD
(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in which stress
comes as the direct reaction to an event that (may)
have taken place in the past, within the state of
Pre-TSD, the stress is the clearly the outcome of an
imaginary potential event. Within the Pre-TSD, an
illusion pre-empts reality and the condition in
which the fantasy of terror is focussed is itself
becoming grave reality. If it is taken to extremes,
even an agenda of total war against the rest of the
world is not an unthinkable reaction.

One may wonder at this stage whether Pre-TSD is just
another name for paranoia. I would argue that the
difference between the two is rather obvious. In the
case of paranoia he who is subject to the disease
makes us feel sorry for him. In the case of
confrontation with a Pre-TSD case, we happen to feel
sorry for ourselves. Unlike the case of paranoia
wherein the sufferer is subject to his own symptoms,
in the case of Pre-TSD the sufferer actually
celebrates his symptoms while others are left with
the role of the audience. Regarding paranoia, we can
clearly point out that the sufferer is deluded and
captured within a phantasmic universe. Concerning
Pre-TSD, the ‘supposedly healthy’, are ‘not so
sure’, they too manage to lose the grip of reality.
More than once we end up believing the Pre-TSD
sufferer when he claims that he is indeed a victim
of a ‘future phantasmic crime’. We somehow happen to
participate in the fantasy. However, we are the
addressees as long as we remain silent. Once we
raise our voices, once we point out that the future
crime is yet to happen and actually may never
happen, we then immediately become part the crime
ourselves.

Let us face it once and for all. Since no one voices
a call to throw the Israelis into the sea or to nuke
them instead, one is entitled to argue that the
Israeli inclination to blame Muslims and Arabs for
holding such murderous tendencies themselves must be
understood in terms of projection. The people who
rained Lebanon with ‘more than a million cluster
bombs’ are projecting their murderous zeal onto
their victims and even onto their victims to come.

Sheleg, for instance, throws his own malicious
tendencies onto the Muslim world and Iran in
particular. Sheleg, being a devoted Zionist who
advocates violent measures against almost anyone who
fails to be a Jew, is doomed to project his own
murderous zeal when referring to Arabs and Muslims.
Obviously Sheleg is not alone; the American Jewish
Committee (AJC) is doing exactly the same thing. In
a recent PR campaign it warned Europe of Iran’s
long-range missiles. Obviously within their
phantasmic Judeocentric universe, a global war
against Islam is a ‘Judeo-Christian interest’.
However, Europeans tend to laugh once confronted
with the AJC’s embarrassingly aggressive ideology.
Europeans are obviously not afraid of Iran at all.
Unlike the Jewish American Committee members who
happen to promote violence, the Europeans fantasise
over peace; seemingly Europeans have had enough wars
(clearly AJC didn’t have enough yet….). Europeans
also realise that as long as they do not harm Iran,
Iran’s ballistic capability is totally irrelevant to
their security. In other words, Europeans fail to
regard Iran as a murderous entity just because
unlike the AJC, Europeans are not murderous to start
with. Because they aren’t murderers, they simply
fail to see murderers in others. The Europeans lack
the necessary aggressive zeal, which the AJC are
overwhelmingly saturated with. This is exactly where
a growing abyss is emerging between the Zionist’s
utterly phantasmic bloodthirsty universe and the
rest of Humanity.

Who needs a Nuclear Arsenal, (Aren’t
Katyusha Rockets just more than enough)?

The general mood in Israel, which is expressed so
eloquently by Sheleg and reflected in the AJC
catastrophic scenario, reveals a severe collective
form of Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The Israelis
and their supportive lobbies are contemplating
publicly over their Nuclear Shoah to come. This
pathological mode is rather bizarre considering the
fact that the bold Hezbollah has managed to defeat
the mighty Israeli army just with light weaponry. It
also managed to defeat the Israeli society with
nothing more than short-range Katyusha rockets. In
fact, the enemy of Israel does not need to ‘nuke
Israel’, all they have to do is just to send a
message to the Jews of the world: Israel is anything
but a shelter. By doing so they confront Israelis
with the following realisation: once again you have
failed in the ‘love your neighbours’ test. This is
what Arab resistance is all about. It is a
metaphysical message rather than a call for a
Judeocide.

However, the Israelis somehow fail to read the
message on the wall. Rather than looking at the
mirror and spotting out their obvious faults that
have already matured into severe moral bankruptcy,
the Israelis prefer total submission to the
materialist fantasy of Nuclear Judeocide. Rather
than thinking in ethical terms, the Israelis
surrender to the shallowest materialist discourse
solely centred on ‘the destruction of the I’. The
Israelis have succumbed to an imaginary phantasmic
Shoah in which they are nuked on a daily basis.
Worryingly enough, the Israelis are not alone,
insofar as worrying of an illusionary terror is
concerned, Blair and Bush are infected with the very
same mental disease.

Repeatedly, Sheleg, the AJC and Bush refer murderous
tendencies to the Iranian president but is this
indeed the case? Do they have a case? Has the
Iranian president ever spoken of destruction of the
Jewish people, the Israelis, or anyone else?

Let us confront the obvious fact. President
Ahmadinejad certainly said that Israel should be
‘wiped off the Map’. However, the president has
never said that Jews as people should be murdered.
He was clearly referring to Israel, the racist ‘Jew
Only State’. This is a legitimate criticism as much
as criticism of Apartheid South Africa was
justifiable. But Ahmadinejad doesn’t stop there, he
elaborates on the issue. Cleverly and rather
reasonably, he challenges the West:

"If you (the West) have burned the Jews, why don't
you give a piece of Europe, the United States,
Canada or Alaska to Israel?… Our question is; if you
have committed this huge crime, why should the
innocent nation of Palestine pay for this crime?"

This is indeed a most appropriate question to be
asked and yet, there is not a single hint that this
man has any plans to annihilate the Jews or their
State. If anything, Ahmadinejad does his best to
find the Jews a new home. Clearly, the Zionist dream
of a Jewish settlement in the Holy Land turned into
a grave disaster. And it is Ahmadinejad who is
already pointing out that the wanderers may have to
Schlep again. May I suggest that a glimpse into
the endless queue list of Israeli citizens who are
now reclaiming Polish and other EU citizenship
reveals that a growing number of Israelis already
internalised the idea that Schlepping is
probably the next phase of their Jewish existence.

The Real Axis of Evil

Reading Sheleg’s op-ed in Haaretz, one may wonder,
“who exactly contemplates the liquidation of the
Jewish State?” It is obviously clear that Iran plans
to join the nuclear club. However, even if Iran
intends upon developing an arsenal of deadly nuclear
weapons, surely it won’t be the first in the region.
It would just follow the Jewish State, a State that
proved beyond doubt that the killing of innocent
civilians happens to be its favourite practice.
Thus, the Israeli as well as Zio-centric fear of
Iranian nuclear aggression must be realised as
nothing but projection. Since Israel is engaged on a
daily basis in the killing of innocent civilians,
Israelis and Zionists are doomed to interpret
others’ behaviour as a murderous inclination.

This is indeed very sad but far from being unique.
The case of America’s Cold War paranoia is not that
different from the case of Israel. Since America was
the first and so far, the only country to use the
atomic bomb against other people, it was the
Americans who were actually caught in a cold war
Pre-TSD. They simply projected their collective
murderous tendencies onto the Soviets. It goes
without mentioning, that unlike the Americans, the
‘Communists’ have never dropped an atomic bomb on
anyone nor it seems had they ever considered such an
act. Somehow, it becomes clear that the more cruel
one is, the more subjected to terror one is.
Moreover, the more cruel practices a nation is
engaged with, the more subjected to the politics of
fear the nation would be. This simple formula may
throw some light over the emerging bond between
America and Israel. Applying some devious
expansionist tactics, the two countries are sinking
into dark deadly thought on the verge of collective
paranoia. This collective paranoia maintains the
hegemony of the one and only axis of evil around:
i.e., Global Zionism and Neocons.

A comic Relief

The following is a Jewish Telegram:
‘begin worrying, details to follow’

The joke above is actually older than Israel, it is
probably as old as the telegraph itself. In fact, it
refers a devastating reality in which the dialectic
of fear is dominating the Jewish existence as well
as mindset. Seemingly, fright has been exploited
politically by Jewish ethnic leaders since the early
days of emancipation. It is possible that within the
process of Jewish secularisation and emancipation
initiated by enlightenment and the French
Revolution, fear of imaginary phantasmic reality
replaced the fright of the almighty evil God, the
God that kills without grace and mercy, the very God
of Sodom and Gomorrah. If this is indeed the case,
‘fear’ should be realised as the modern Jewish God
and the Pre-TSD is better seen as the modern Jewish
practice. The Judification of Blair and Bush can be
realised as the emergence of the ‘Politics of Fear’.
Seemingly, this very political practice is very
successful in America but it proved to be a total
failure in the UK.

However, Pre-TSD is not an Israeli invention at all.
Jewish opinion leaders as well as ethnic campaigners
were specialising in maintaining Jewish anxiety a
long time before Israel came about. Early Zionists
were very effective in terrorizing their brothers.
Herzl was foolishly inspired by the Dreyfus case (as
Lenni Brenner points out, Herzl failed to understand
the meaning of the case and its implications. In
fact, Dreyfus’s vindication proves that French
people and French Jews won in their fight against
Anti-Semitism and xenophobia). Other early Zionists
were stimulated by some East European anti-Jewish
riots and pogroms. In general, Zionism can be
realised as an urge to formulate a general political
agenda based on self-inflicting fright. This is
probably why Zionism must maintain terror in order
to sustain its power. It is evident that Bush and
the Neocons use exactly the same tactic.

Divine Intervention

May I suggest at this point that it is rather
possible that more than one world leader is alarmed
by the Iranian atomic program not because they are
afraid of Iranian aggression but rather because by
now, they are all aware of the Israeli collective
psychosis. Without knowing about Pre-TSD, Western
leaders do grasp that Israel would not hesitate to
initiate a nuclear war as much as it didn’t hesitate
to cover Lebanese cities with more than one million
cluster bombs. A country that can destroy its
neighbour and turn one-third of its citizens into
homeless people just for 2 POWs is basically capable
of anything.

I am not a psychiatrist, I am not even a practicing
psychoanalyst, I do not know whether there is an
analyst couch big enough to accommodate the entire
Israeli people and their many global Zionist
brothers. I am not so sure whether there is a
professional around who can take care and help the
Israelis to deal with their current Pre-TSD phase. I
don’t even know whether the Israelis would take the
advise of a shrink. All I myself do is merely
suggest a diagnosing of a rather severe malaise.
While many of us are convinced that Israel’s
behaviour is the outcome of moral bankruptcy, I
insist that the Israeli identity is emerging as a
pathological psychotic case. The moral bankruptcy,
thus, is a mere symptom of a deeply concerning
mental disorder.

Being in a psychotic state, the Israelis indeed
enjoy their symptoms, from us they just need some
brief attention. They basically need our approval.
When they flatten southern Beirut, their spokesman
insisted upon convincing us that it was actually a
Western sacred war that they were fighting. They
really wanted us to believe that they have done it
all for our behalf and in our name. We may have to
admit that except two democratically elected Pre-TSD
cases (Bush & Blair) who approved the Israeli
atrocities, the rest of humanity who was watching
the emerging carnage in Beirut sensed some clear
growing detestation towards the Jewish State and the
entire Zionist adventure.

For those who still fail to see it, we are dealing
here with a severe mad case of a State that is
reaching the very peak of its collective psychotic
phase. For those who tend to forget, this mentally
disordered national entity possesses a vast nuclear
arsenal, and it has its belly full of deadly
intentions. We are horrified and so we should be. We
can see them bullying the entire Middle East. We are
encircled by their merciless hedonism and
self-righteousness and there is very little for us
to do except pray for divine intervention.
